Leilani is into naming and personalizing her things. She has lots of easter bunnies, named Didi and Mimi and Papa… a fairy was recently named Klezila. <\/p>\n
All nice. Then she named one of her Chinese New-Years dragons Jet Li. In case this does not ring any bells google “Jet Li dragon” for a list of bad movies with a good martial artist. Andy immediately contested the name, and said it was spelled Chetly. <\/p>\n
I think it is pretty amazing. I’m also sure Leilani could never have seen even a minute of his movies at babysiters or friends homes, she doesn’t even watch Snowwhite, and makes me skip great portions of the book now, because it is too scary, but maybe one of the kids in preschool talked about Jet Li? <\/p>\n
Or maybe I, Andy, heard her say “Chetly” and said “Hey, that sounds like Jet Li, how appropriate for a Chinese dragon.” Anyways, all of these names, including the dragon’s change each time she plays the naming game. Some of the bunny names are consistent, but they are never for the same bunny. But it’s still an interesting phase, combining both her discovery of the “power” to name things and the ability to create words.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Leilani is into naming and personalizing her things.
